Seafood Restaurants
in Manchester
Seafood,
like red meat, is a good source of high quality
protein. This means it contains all the essential
amino acids needed to build and repair body
tissue. Both lean and fatty fish are excellent
choices for a heathy diet. Fish contains less
total fat than red meat and the fat is low
in saturates (the type of fat that raises
blook cholesterol levels) and high in polyunsaturated
and monousaturated (the type of fat that does
not raise blood cholesterol levels) fatty
acids. For years nutritionists have suggested
including more seafood in the diet because
low fat and low saturated fat diets are linked
to a reduced risk of heart disease. In addition,
new research is showing that the omega-3 fatty
acids found in seafood, especially the fattier
fishes, may be effecting in lowering blood
cholesterol and triglycerides. It's also a
delicious food type and although not specific
to a culture, you can find several speciality
restaurants in Manchester to satisfy your
appetit for 'Les fruits de la mer!'
